Trivia

The subtitles from the quote If you prefer I took my men and left... do not match what is said in the game. In the game, Cipius says If you prefer, I can take my men and leave.

During the Message to Whiterun quest, you're asked to report to him, and in some instances he will not give you the quest dialogue for you to proceed, instead only offers generic guard responses. To fix this, if you have installed Civil War Overhaul and you have deleted only the .esp file, you should delete all its scripts, textures and actors.

360 Using Ice Form on his bugged copy may result in Cipius never getting back up.
